Hey, it's me, Dustin.

00:00

Welcome back to smarter every day I am in the thinkI place and today on this video,

00:05

I would like to take you to the thinkI place with me.

00:07

The other day, my friend's dad said something

00:11

that was like a throwaway dad comment at first.

00:13

But we're still talking about it because of how deep it goes.

00:17

He said "It's important to not lose your voice".

00:22

I know, it sounds simple, but it's not talking about like, "We can't be silenced!"

00:27

No.... That's not what he's talking about.

00:29

It's important to not lose YOUR voice. Meaning...

00:34

in today's internet where you make things and you put them on the internet.

00:38

It's easy to forget who you are.

00:40

You forget who YOU are, and that's what I want to talk about today.

00:45

Let me describe the problem like this.

00:46

Every content creator knows this

00:49

When I make a piece of content for the internet, do I make the video

00:52

that is the truest reflection of my voice of who I am?

00:56

Or do I give in to the temptation that voice that's always in the back

01:00

of your mind that says, "You know, if you change your content in this way

01:04

or do this to it, you might make something that performs better."

01:04

Just for fun. The other day, I graphed every Smarter Every Day episode and looked at

01:11

how many minutes each video was versus the upload date.

01:15

Each little bubble on this graph is a significant moment for me,

01:18

and I want to see if I've changed

01:19

how I communicate those memories throughout the years.

01:22

Right here is the spot

01:23

where I changed the name of my videos to Smarter Every Day,

01:26

and I noticed that in the early episodes my videos were about things.

01:29

I was curious about things I was exploring at the moment,

01:32

but gradually my videos have become more and more of a production.

01:35

The size of each bubble is how many views each video gets, and it's easy to see

01:39

that the length of each individual video has gradually been rising.

01:43

I tried to make the length of each video to be as long as it needs to be

01:46

to see what I need to say.

01:47

But you'll notice that the videos here

01:49

at the bottom of the graph that are shorter in duration,

01:51

they don't perform as well.

01:53

So I assume that's because watch time is a major driver in the algorithm.

01:58

So the obvious engineering decision at this point

02:01

is to increase the amount of time of each of my videos.

02:04

Add a little bit of fluff there,

02:05

and that would get some of that sweet, sweet algorithmic love, right?

02:09

But I've decided not to do that, and the reason I've decided not to do that

02:14

is because that would allow external factors to affect my voice.

02:19

In this case, the external factors would be

02:22

the desire to please an ever changing algorithm.

02:25

Remember, these videos are memories to me, and if we put our memories on

02:31

the internet and we choose those memories based on what we think is going to get

02:35

the most likes or clicks or whatever, then we are curating our lives.

02:41

.....obviously.

02:42

But but here's the deal

02:43

that affects what memories we send forward into the next generation.

02:48

And so it matters.... like it REALLY matters.

02:51

I don't want to lose who I am.

02:53

It's possible to forget what you sound like, where you and I say

02:56

things based on not what we think, but what we think others want to hear.

03:01

And this can happen to both individuals and big organizations.

03:05

I recently read several articles about Notre-Dame in Paris

03:09

and to give you an idea of how old this cathedral is.

03:11

Groundbreaking took place in 1163 and it was completed in 1345.

03:17

That's a really long time ago,

03:18

and modifications have been ongoing throughout the centuries.

03:22

In 2019, the cathedral famously burned in

03:25

a tremendous amount of money, was raised to restore the cathedral.

03:28

Most of the articles I read were extremely critical of new plans

03:32

that have come about to use some of this money

03:34

to restore the cathedral and change the inside of the cathedral,

03:38

so it's more well-suited to like massive crowds of tourists and things like that.

03:42

Full disclosure I'm a Christian,

03:43

but I'm

03:44

not a member of the Catholic Church, so I am in no place to cast judgment over

03:48

whatever they want to do with their cathedral.

03:49

It's none of my business.

03:50

However, I find that desire to modify

03:54

a 900 year old thing and change it

03:57

so that it's more appealing to new modern crowds.

04:01

I find it to be very similar to that voice in the back of my head.

04:04

That's like, "Hey Destin,

04:06

go ahead and change the video so that it will perform better on YouTube."

04:09

Destin Why don't you change this?

04:11

So it'll be accepted by more people?"

04:13

I think that voice is a very similar voice.

04:16

I don't think it's a good idea to try to modify

04:18

who you are to try to please the internet.

04:20

First of all, I don't think you're ever going to do it.

04:22

Secondly, I think it's important to remember your voice

04:25

and memories is one of the main reasons why I'm becoming more and more attracted

04:30

to physical objects.
